SALT LAKE CITY -- A slow shift at work turned out to be one a Salt Lake City waitress will never forget after a group of Michigan fans in town Thursday night for the football game against Utah left a roughly 600 percent tip amounting to thousands of dollars.

Bre Snow left work at the Bourbon House Thursday night thousands of dollars richer and with thanks for one group of customers.

The group visited the restaurant after the Utah vs. Michigan game, and Snow said when they departed they left her a big tip and a lot of hope.

Snow said she works two jobs, and the tips at the end of a long day can vary.

“Sometimes they can be really good,” she said. “Sometimes they can be really bad.”

But Thursday night, she likely had one of her best nights ever for tips.

“I was checked out for the night, like that's how late they came in,” Snow recalls.

She started serving a table of customers, who in return gave her more than she could have imagined

“It was more than a pick me up,” Snow said.

After rounds of drinks and food, waiting for her at the table was a receipt. It displayed a $500 bill, with a $3,000 tip.

“They're like, ‘We want to give this to you. We want to make your day’ and it did, and I started tearing up” Snow said.

Fellow server Diana Weil said there was some initial sticker shock.

“I looked at the receipt and was like, ‘Did she get $300? Nope, that's $3,000,’” she said.
